Probably not that original...but it is what she called herself...and I'm an Iron Man fan who has been accused of looking like a tall Robert Downey Jr. so it worked out...Pepper

Mini Pearl is even better...care to guess where that's from?? That is what a fellow PDX MINI Member named her '06 PW/Vert Mini Cooper S, this was after her '06 Mini Cooper "Justine" was totalled by some MORON could not negotiate a curve!! :,-(

You'd have to be on the older side to remember "Hee Haw"...

Some might remember the Dead Milkmen's "Punk Rock Girl"...

Punk rock girl--
You look so wild
Punk rock girl--
Let's have a child
And name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me punk rock girl

My daughter is a huge Doctor Who fan so she very quickly named mine the Tardis...as in Time And Relative Dimension In Space.. Plus she's bigger on the inside than she looks.

Both leads have Dr. Who connections (and I've been a long time fan, even before my namesake became the 11th doctor)... it's a good buddies favorite flick... and I love obscure film/tv references.
